Interactive fiction prologue sets your backstory and skills

The Necromancer's Tale

A story-rich gothic RPG. Master the rituals of an ancient spellbook. Raise an undead army to march against your enemies. Commune with the realm of the dead & struggle with your descent into madness. Progress through secrecy, diplomacy, blackmail, coercion & seduction until ready to reveal yourself.

The game uses a (skippable) Interactive Fiction style prologue to set your backstory and skills, and to let you explore the game's lore and history before beginning the main game-play. It's a 10,000-word, fully-voice acted narration. Watch some footage here, or try it in the demo! [previewyoutube=htS6tdEVVAE;full][/previewyoutube]
